1t is Declared Invalid by the Illinois Su-
preme Court
OTTAWA, H., Marcn 22.-The case
of Arson l.. Storey and other blood
relatives of the late Wilbur E. Storey,
VS.. the widow, Mrs. Eureka G. Storey,
was this morning decided in the SUI
preme court. The decision OF Judge
Rogers, which confirmed the appellate
court, being reversed and the case sent
back to the lower court for instruc-
tions. This suit was originally brought
in the probate court by brother of
Mr.. Storey to contest the will of
1881, on the ground OF the tes-
tator's inability. The probate
court held that the will was made bv
a man OF unsound mind. Mrs. Storey
appealed to the circuit court. Later
she dismissed her appeal, her counsel
electing to stand by the will of 1879,
,.hich was in nearly all respects the
same as the later one. Then Mrs. Far
rand, sister of Mr.. Storey, appealed
from the probate court, which had
really been in her favor, she being one
of the original plaintiffs in the case.
The appeal was tried before Judge
Rogers, Mrs. Storey's witnesses alone
being examined, the attorneys for
heirs refusing either to cross-examine
or produce witnesses of their own,
contending that Mrs. Farrand alone
had the right to prosecute the suit,
and that Mrs. Storey had no stand
ing in the case. The court held this
position not we'll taken, and the ap-
pellate court sustained the ruling.
The supreme court reversed it, Justice
Craig alone dissenting.

BATTLE OF LIFE.

Think not that all the warriors fight
Where blood dyes with crimson the field !;
The unknown who dare to do right
Are unhampered by wsrlock or shield.
When neither the trumpet nor drum
Incites the bold spirit to strife
In ranks where the victor is dumb
Waits the hardest combat of this life!
The soldier who falls by his gun
Sleeps we'll beneath laurels and bays;
But unwept-how many one
Fights, conquers and dies without praise
The loyal may long to retreat
From carnage 20 stript Of renown;
But the glory is full and complete
When the soul lays its own temptsr down.
Only dare to be honest and brave;
Stand guard by what virtues you own;

they were soon to be put to death, as
was the custom, to prevent rival claim
ants to the throne from disturbing
the country. For the first time In
ages, probably, no scenes Of fratrici-
dal slaughter marked the advent of
Uganda's latest king, Mwanga. There
were high hopes that lonely Uganda
would be the centre from which would
radiate powerful civilizing influences that
would reclaim from savagery the heart of
Africa.
Two potent factors, however, were at
work TO blight these hopes and to make
Uganda the theatre Of : great tragedy.
The first was the fact that the chiefs
who form the Kings council had never
been friendly to the missionaries because
the latter were outspoken against their
vices. They now saw the boy King
coming more and more under the In
fuence Of the white men, and they re-
solved to leave no stone unturned to
ruin the missionaries. They used every
art to persuade the King that the whites
were dangerous and ambitious men, and
that the native Christians, as soon as
they were strong enough, would help the
whites to overthrow him.
At this ill-omened moment the King
heard that the Germans were seizing
large territories In East Africa, that DR..
